How a Reed Education prepares one to work in the tech sphere

The proliferation of specialization in tech and how other industries are adapting to technology

Diversity and inclusion in tech companies

Reedies in the Environmental Field:
As Margaret Murie ’23 once said, “Environmentalists can be a pain in the ass, but they make great ancestors.” Join Carolyn Yale ’68, Tina Schneider ’05, Raphaela Hsu-Flanders ’16, and Michael McGreevey ’04 to discuss Reedies continuing in a long tradition of advocacy on environmental, conservation and sustainability issues. This informal gathering will include discussion of:

Career directions in the environmental, conservation, and sustainability fields

Building connections between the many Reedies working in these fields and current students/recent graduates

Future directions for Reedies passionate about working on environmental and sustainability issues

Reedies in Immigration Law and Issues Everyone Should Know:
Last year hundreds of lawyers around the country, including a number of Reed alums, responded to the sudden implementation of the Trump Travel Ban by heading to airports to aid travelers facing sudden obstacles. Immigration law is, in fact, one of the major areas of concentration for Reed alums working in law, and at this reunion three alums – Turid Owren ’74, Rich Parker ’75 and Bryan McGowan ’85 -- will discuss substantive issues in their work, and many ways immigration law affects businesses and individuals. Oregon CLE credit pending and all alumni and current students are welcome to attend. The discussion will be suitable for specialists and non-specialists alike:
